Hey IG - sorry I'm so late to respond. It's a WellsGardner D9500. To use the overlay, you need to use a true 19" CRT monitor. I tried using a U3100, but it's limited to 640x480 unless you install the SVGA kit. Apparently you can ask WellsGardner to install the kit before you get it, but I didn't know that before I ordered it. So, I'm going to use it on a different project, and I'm using the D9500 on the jukebox.

All done! The biggest pain in the ass was the marquee/video window. Overall, it turned out pretty nice. I recommend this route for anyone else looking to do a jukebox. Finding a used megatouch without any boards is getting easier since they've phased out the CRT models in favor of the LCD ones.
So finishing pics:
Marquee/Video Window is on a 12" LCD. I originally had some issues with these LCD's, but after setting the MHZ to the proper amount (70MHZ) it displays just fine.
Here it is with a video playing. The video has a green tint to it (it's not the screen)
All thats left is to get the black and red skin working. I'm working Barry Barcrest and his team to get it.
Speaking of Freebox... it's an absolute rock solid, easy to use program. It comes VERY highly recommended by me. You can get it at www.freeboxjukebox.com. Good stuff.
For those of you curious, I used a 12" speaker grill and 10" red neon speaker rings to fit inside. It's a bit on the flashy side, but I think a jukebox needs to be flashy with some raz-a-ma-taz.
And thats going to do it for me for this year - I've already put the tools up. I only published a few projects on BYOAC this year since I didn't do too many innovations. If you'd like to see any more pics or anything, let me know. I'll be posting a youtube clip shortly.

Excuse the blur in the beginning...

With those Hummer rims, how much road tax do they charge you on it? :laugh2:
